The Syracuse New Times Syracuse Area Live Theatre (S.A.L.T.) Awards are going through a “shakeup” this year! We’ve got a brand new Academy, a new nomination and voting process, and a new ceremony coming in November 2014! Under these new guidelines, the Academy is voting on shows between September and August of each season. To be sure we didn’t forget anyone during these changes, below are the nominations for January through August 2013 (from the previous Academy). We will be contacting the winners very soon. Stay tuned to find out who won!
